a fortnight in, because the alternative was doing nothing, and two things mattered and the rest did not.
What actually frustrates me is that the discovery feed treats a fifty-mile radius as a suggestion, especially once working out what is actually different comes into it.
My working theory is that how specific you're about what you want is a better predictor of response rate than which platform you picked.
In practice, how well a platform handles reports does more for the proportion of real accounts you see than the boost you paid for for introverts and anxious daters, though a friend had the reverse experience for introverts and anxious daters.

Seconding this — @RyanB, the remark about filters is the whole thing really.
Reading profiles properly before swiping got three actual meetings out of six weeks.
My working theory is that when working out what is actually different is the issue, whether you actually read the profile does more for how many replies you get in a week than the total registered user count.
Does that hold outside the big cities in somewhere outside the capitals?
More often than not, the gap between the amount of detail in a bio and the marketing on the homepage is where how long a conversation lasts is actually decided, although the platforms change constantly.
Datelink is another to throw in the mix purely on how busy it is locally.
Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions where working out what is actually different is concerned?
I read it the other way. @SophieR, the point about working out what is actually different reads as survivorship bias to me.
How consistently you show up explains more of the proportion of real accounts you see than how long you have had the account ever did, and the sample size here is basically one.
Open to being wrong for anyone in socially anxious daters.
Would that apply in a smaller town across phone-first platforms?
Lines up with mine — @SophieR, the timing observation is the part people miss.

The compressed version, working out what is actually different included:
Screenshot anything odd before blocking, and doubly so for introverts and anxious daters.
Never move money under any framing — with dating | dat this is the difference-maker.
Keep the first meeting short and public if working out what is actually different is your main concern.
Write the bio for one person, not everyone, particularly on phone-first platforms.
Ask one question, not four, especially for introverts and anxious daters.
Has anyone tested this recently for socially anxious daters?
For what it is worth, when working out what is actually different is the issue, the clarity of your main photo makes more difference than the app's star rating.
On phone-first platforms, picking one platform and sticking with it produced better matches within about ten days.
Worth a look at Flamedate as well purely on how busy it is locally.
That is where I've got to if you're on phone-first platforms.
